We are making a web browser! PREVIOUSLY In the face of recent changes in Firefox and Chrome some anons were asking for a Sup Forums's perfect web browser, we collected the most wanted here and plan on continuing with the creation.
To contribute follow the WORK PLAN, join the IRC to ask developers for a repo, and get to programming!
>TODO: - Host project at savannah.nongnu.org - Set bug tracker and mailing list in Savannah.
>WORK PLAN 1. Browse links2 source code (you can use Ctags for tagging functions and files). 2. Expose API and give access to everything (scripting through executables is planned). 3. Give total control over the DOM, put options in files inside a hierarchical folder structure referencing sites and subsites. 4. Implement a link grabber for every link and media type to be parsed by scripts and independent applications. 5. Create an uncomplicated switch to general security profiles located in saved files. 6. Implement ncurses simple tree style graphics for bookmarks, tabs, advanced security policies by site, etc. 7. Work in the framebuffer graphics rendering. 8. Open API to javascript support (version 2.1pre28 of links2 had javascript enabled). 9. Cache, logs, cookies, and other data storage options. 10. Ports routing proxy management. 11. Vim/Emacs modes, dwb hints and quickmarks. 12. Optionally add parser for HTML, DJVU, PDF, epub, etc.?
So how many logos have been made compared to work done on the actual browser?

And they keep coming.

Servo is only a research project for Mozilla. It'll never actually turn into anything.
Wyatt Russell
M E M E E M E
Jaxson Davis
This one sucks ass and so does the one in the OP.
Aiden Kelly
a thread died for this
Lincoln Mitchell
Why are there three different repositories with three different commit histories?
Aaron Lopez
>still no tarball
Fuck you.
Anthony Jones
Parts of Servo are already being implanted to Gecko...
Logan Howard
I can't program but I'm gonna make a new logo, it's gonna be way better than the current one.
Asher Campbell
Firefox has servo code running right now you spasmoid.
Andrew Gutierrez
Spamming the answer with the other guy won't convince anyone to make the switch.
Jack Brown
I'm talking about Servo as a whole you mongoloid. It's primarily a research project and expecting Servo *itself* to amount to anything more than an idea factory is retarded.
Brayden Clark
The logo is good.i think it should have a change in icon when it enters night mode which should be a thing on all browsers.
Ayden Thomas
Noone cares what you are using faggloid
Leo Foster
>I don't understand how software research works
If it's being implemented in other projects it's doing its job pleb.
Nicholas Thompson
Why won't you people just give up? It's not like you will make anything worthwhile.
Lucas Brown
Implying you do sperglord.
Hudson Hernandez
But this shit won't turn into anything too, lol
Isaac Fisher
>lol
Juan Williams
>>lol
Xavier Jenkins
Just give up, this project will never succeed
Charles Baker
cry bitch
Leo Williams
oh no a fucking Sup Forums thread died, what the fuck are we gonna do? stop the goddamn presses, a poor "what smartphone to get???" thread was killed
delete re/g/g/it
Michael Evans
So has any progress been done yet Or is it STILL MORE circlejerking with nothing to show for it
By the way, we sorely need a good mobile browser too, that supports privacy. Firefox still works with uMatrix, there's the ESR and Icecat also works, but on mobile you literally have zero options right now.
Brandon Thomas
Just run uzbl, qutebrowser, or surf in a framebuffer
Levi Davis
Good, phoneposters should die
Blake Reyes
There is pale moon for mobiles
Zachary Stewart
I'll be the ideas guy
Juan Morris
>got called out for being stupid >quick, resort to childish insults
Nice.

Can't prevent browser fingerprinting and tracking properly on any of them (as far as I know)
Parker Russell
Realistically, probably no browser (except Tor browser maybe?) can, see e.g.
I'm quite positive almost nobody profiles your network access to fingerprint you. And with proper third-party script and cookie blocking, I don't know if it's even possible (except to first parties, obviously).
And there are still measures one can take. A plywood door with a bathroom lock is better than a cardboard door with no lock which is better than no door. Realistically, it's impossible to prevent someone from breaking into your house without spending millions, but you still lock your door; why? People buy and use safes, even though they too can be broken or picked open with enough effort - why?
Blocking 3rd-party scripts alone defeats most javascript-based fingerprinting. Reducing the attack surface of common vectors helps further. If I generate a new canvas ID every day, and send highly common user-agents, accept-encoding headers, available system fonts, lists of plugins, etc., it becomes significantly harder to fingerprint me. And because the vast majority of people won't bother with all of this, the vast majority of trackers won't spend money and effort tracking people like me.
Isaac Barnes
A firm argument. Is illogical not to take some measures, moreover if they take little to no effort, moreover if they take little cost, that is what security is about in essence.
Also, some anons around will agree that nowadays is more about feeding less metadata to the beast.
Logan James

Luke Morgan
I understand Sup Forums products are usually bad, but the backlash behind this browser is irregular. I really do feel like some of the backlash are shills
Xavier Allen
Using an alt-right symbol will really make us better than SJWfox? Is not just the same shit with a different smell?
>inb4 centrist bashing
Henry Davis
Maybe you are too new to Sup Forums, but when the linux threads started they were full of shitposters bashing linux.
Carter Taylor
cool logo desu
Easton Smith
the official default 404 netrunner page
Christopher Peterson
how about a tray with a burger wrapper and empty fry box?
Jaxon Roberts
That was back when Sup Forums wasn't full of shills
Nathaniel Martin

Please stop with this shit, it's the laughing stock on this board...
Hudson Taylor
They were here for Tox and they were here for ColverOS. It's the same old song and dance.
Go fuck yourself.
Mason Miller
OP and devs: there are many lurkers who can't contribute but want to see this succeed. Please don't lose focus and please ignore shitty trolls and shills. They mean nothing. Good luck.
Christopher Long
This is definitely a fucking shill post.
>not funny or cutting >faggy use of ellipsis
Reaks of corpcuckery.
Austin Howard
You have to add Moonman's smile to the logo
Carter Cook
U guy knows it's already an OS named netrunner

Progress report: Yesterday I was able to make inline and block elements play together nicely. Worked today on refactoring the code that made that happen.
Included some Makefile fixes and OSX binary packaging tools. Fixed whitespace eating issue in parser. Also tried to comment more.
Also worked on the event and state system, so we can make the netcode non-blocking and enable coroutines, so net can stream to parser and parser can stream to renderer.
Just now finished make it layout correctly (before it would only layout correctly after a resize event). Still needs some clean up and then I'll commit that.
RetroTech set up an etherpad, so we can collaborate better. Gyro has been researching servo. I'm hoping to set up a trello soon.
Linux tarball using out of date binary from gyro's build system. The version will crash on certain websites because of the bad layout logic. Best I can do until I get my linux box working again.
Let me know if you have any problems running it, first time packaging it from an OSX system for Linux.
Daniel Barnes
That pic rustle my jimmies
Grayson Rogers
is it white on black or vice verssa
Jeremiah Turner
Netrunner isn't dead !
Ryan Cruz
Thanks for the binary, that pic tho.
Grayson White
the white spins, and then the black, so there are no solids, so no background/foreground. It's just visual candy that can't exist in the real world.
Austin Jones
Looking good user. >Chromium shill once again.
Angel Thompson
>Tripfag >Broken English
How much did Google pay you to shitpost?
Great to hear updates, thanks.
This so much. Tox had a bumpy start and it ended up not just being useful but mainstream to an extent. With nothing but shitty browsers infested with SJWs, non coders and botnet, NetRunner is the savior of a browser the internet needs.
Camden Wilson
>Sup Forums is the internet I already use Dashchan for that
Yes, there was a guy on IRC trying to compile it for windows but haven't heard from him in a while. The code is intended to work on windows.
Jason Wood
why not use webkit. im asking because i genuinely dont know why you arent using an engine
Benjamin Brown
is that a browser mascot or just on the webpage?
Alexander Bennett
it's a quite a pain to embed in projects and once embedded it's hard to change its behavior.
just some background tied to the browser not the page as some color/texture filler until we can get colors/backgrounds/images working.
Jace Stewart
do engines like webkit bring up any privacy concerns here or is it just a preference of your project not to use it then?
Gabriel Lewis
You must be kidding.
I mean, I could really appreciate this project if you made it about creating a web browser just for fun and for learning how it works, to get a glimpse of the challenges and everything...
But claiming that you'll be able to make a proper web browser that people will be able to use in their day to day lives... You just won't be able to do that.
Jaxson Taylor
Why would a web browser handle 404s by showing its own content?
Jaxon Rivera
Oh boy, here he comes.
Parker Thomas
While we're at it, Sup Forums should make a chan that isn't botnet.
Xavier Carter
Yeah, captcha fucking sucks. Isn't there a way to make non-botnet captchas that do not suck?
Julian Gonzalez
This browser is shit and insecure
Hudson Hall
Not as insecure as you and as shit as your mom
Andrew Murphy
>We are making a web browser! no you're not. 10 guys are making logos and 1 guy is making babby's first html parser

Julian Miller
LMAO you got REKTd son!
Luke Flores
yes
CAPTCHA: wouldn't load
Zachary Hill
kek
Sebastian Rivera
Shit Shit The best one besides pic related Shit
Jack Wright
if you dummies weren't building a web browser with fucking moonman as your logo i'd contribute, but I can already see where this project is going.
James Wilson
the actual development team is different than who ever is making these threads. The actual project doesn't have any moonman shit and the OSX build is going by "Saltasaurus". Come by the irc or discord for real up to date information about the project.
Zachary Anderson
Is there an estimate on how long till it's completed?
Elijah Watson
This. Moonman did nothing wrong tho.
Oliver Bell
It'll probably be a functional barebones browser within a couple of months, but I wouldn't hold your breath if you're expecting it to be a modern standards-compliant browser that can actually render webpages made after 1995
Adrian Ward
I just want a command line browser that has image support and proper scripting features like javascript and whatever else the web uses like php. I'm not asking for a lot here.
